Absolutely the worst kettle out there.

published

Bought one of these this morning from Good Guys. Came home. Put the kettle on and when I went to pour some water out, the water came out of the spout and also the lid. What the hell! Where is the quality control. Get of your arses and fix this major fault with this kettle. That is so dangerous. I took it back and obviously got a refund.

Breville BKE840CLR LEAKS

published

within 8 months have had to replace it twice due to leakage at the base of the handle. Rang Breville, was told they are not aware of this problem. I see many complaints online about leaks with this kettle - are we not letting Breville know about this issue? So that their engineering department can fix this problem!!

Not worth all the bells and whistles.

published

The kettle has five temperature settings, a keep warm feature and a cancel button. The water level is easily seen. The spout however is rather wide making it difficult to pour with accuracy. The kettle failed within one week of purchase. It started to leak water rendering the electronics useless.

Works if it does not leak

published

I bought it two weeks ago and I did not notice its leakage until I could not boil water anymore. I was happy with the design and the functions, but another issue is that it already started having rusk-like stain at the bottom for only two weeks usage.

Leaks water

published

I purchased this glass kettle and it leaked after 3 days. Received a replacement and now this is leaking after only 1 month. It’s a poor design. Now on my 3rd.

The glass top is joined to the metal bass that houses the heating element via a rubber grommet. It’s not fully encapsulated in glass. That’s why it leaks. It needs to be re-designed to have a fully enclosed glass bowl. Glass has come a long way. Surely this can be done

Questions & Answers

My Smart Kettle Model BKE840 was a gift last Christmas from my daughter in Melbourne. Although it has only been used for three months it has recently started leaking with water getting into the electrics causing the kettle to start up on its own. As the Start / Cancel button doesn't work the kettle has to be turned of at the main switch. As I live in Sydney I'm not able to exchange the kettle. Any suggestion from Breville to either inspect or arrange repairs would be appreciated. I have always owned Breville kettles so am very disappointed with the quality of this product.
